Sadie was an owner turn in to a shelter in Nashville. We are still not sure why as she is a sweetie. She like to cuddle in the big bed with you. She gets along with other dogs and kids. She does get along with cats but she like to bark at them. Sadie is house trained to a doggie door & we are working on house training her without one. So far she is making great progress. We do require that she goes to a home with a fenced yard because she likes to chase squirrels and bark at the birds. Sadie is a very energetic dog. She will need a home with someone that can play with her a lot. She would be best in a home that has another dog so that she will not get too lonely if you are gone. Sadie knows how to sit & we are working on other tricks. She is up to date on all her shots, she is spayed, and on Interceptor and Frontline. If you feel that you have a place in you home & heart for this wonderful girl then please fill out an application or if you have any questions you can contact us. Home visit is required on all applications & we do accept out of state adoptions.

AADR does not recommend dachshunds for families with children under 5, or families planning to have children during the dog's lifetime. Dachshunds are often not patient with little kids, and kids can accidentally hurt a dachshund's back or get bitten.

Please don't let the distance stand in your way of finding your newest best friend. We have volunteers that will help your "new friend" get up and down the East Coast and mid-west. We just can't get them from one coast to the other. For now, please look for dogs on your coast.
